That plug looks great. Very nice paint job.

Never disregard poppers as big fish catchers. A few years ago, I was fishing a well known rip from the boat and we could see lots of big bass swimming deep underneath the boat. Other boats were jigging and trolling wire and leadcore and not catching anything. We decided to stop fishing and eat a sandwich. I'm sitting there watching other boats trolling with no luck, when I thought I saw a swirl in a rip line about 50 feet behind our boat. I grabbed a rod from the rocket launcher with a big yellow polaris and cast it out. A big bass came up and nailed it. My dad then did the same with a big blue and white popper and we realized that even though the fish were deep, they were coming up to the surface to feed. We did great with big fish that day, while none of the other boats did anything.
